TEMECULA, Calif. (Dec. 12, 2014)— GPSTrackIt.com is sponsoring a Christmas party for U.S. Marine Corps Wounded Warriors and their families on Saturday, Dec. 20th. The party will be held at the Western Eagle Foundation facility in Temecula, and will feature games, a reptile petting zoo, a bouncy house, a DJ, pictures of the kids with Santa and a raffle.
“This year Western Eagle Foundation and GPSTrackIt.com are partnering to host the Marine Wounded Warriors of Camp Pendleton and their families,” said Steven Johnson, Western Eagle’s warehouse supervisor. “Through this event we want to acknowledge the sacrifice and dedication that these men and women have made for our country.”
“We’re very happy to be able to do this for these brave soldiers and their families,” said John Stull, president and owner of GPSTrackIt.com. “Camp Pendleton is just over the hill from us. These people are serving their country, away from home and their extended families during the holidays. We want to thank them for their service. Partnering with Western Eagle Foundation on this was a no-brainer.”
Western Eagle Foundation is a non-profit organization operating a 44,000-square-foot ‘superstore’ where people in need can purchase food and other goods at deeply discounted prices. The food and sundries are donated local businesses.
“With a generous gift of $5,000 provided by GPSTrackIt.com we will be able to assist these families with a much deserved merry Christmas, complete with fun, food, toys and of course Santa,” added Johnson. “We want these valuable soldiers to end this year with a heartfelt thank you.”
In addition to sponsoring the Christmas event, GPSTrackIt.com employees are volunteering at the facility to help with Western Eagle’s Toys For Tots campaign. They also collected canned food items for the food bank to distribute.
“This is the time of year when we take stock of what we have,” said Stull. “It’s important to give thanks, and to remember that there are others who may not be as fortunate.”
